Do people really want to see the Big 12 in the playoff?

Watching the two highest ranked teams in the conference take horrible angles and letting guys run wide open across the field all half long, I can't imagine Clemson or Alabama scoring fewer than 70 points in these pathetic defenses. Both teams would be favored by 20+ against these teams. I hope Michigan or Georgia make the final 4 because I can't stand the Big 12. And don't get me started on the Pac 12, It's men vs boys. And I'm a Pac 12 homer.

Think.
So many teams never, ever see offenses like some of these Big 12 teams.
Oklahoma TT WV Ia St etc.
So their defensive stats look better.
Oklahoma played a good game against Georgia last year in the playoffs.
Scored “how many” points on them? GA was an elite SEC defense last year.
Think.

Oklahoma scored 31 on Georgia.
In the first half.
Finished with 45 in regulation.
Lost in overtime.
Compare that to other teams scores vs Georgia.

oklahoma can score on any defense, yes that includes Alabama and Clemson.

Their defense is pathetic, will be a repeat of lat year

Would rather see Michigan than these joke defenses

The defenses aren’t as bad as you think.
When your offense is so good and scores so quickly in the air especially, your defense is exposed.
KC, Rams in the pros for example. Did you ever hear of Air Coryell?
Sure they’d score on Bama but Bama is superior to all. 50 four stars, 15 five stars.
But don’t think that Big 12 defenses are that bad it’s a function of the offenses they play against.
Has Michigan, ND, for example, played a team with Oklahoma’s OL, QB, RBs, and receivers? Tell me.
I’d bet on OK against Michigan or ND in a playoff but not Bama.

You may be right. But ND and UM would simply run the ball all day 1st, 2nd and 3rd down for 5 yards per carry. Dominate time of possession and force Oklahoma to be perfect on offense. 45 min of time of possession to 15 would be interesting to watch. I would really enjoy watching Oklahoma vs Michigan or Georgia.

Bama and clemson score 70 though.

Clemson is overrated. I’d take my chances with Oklahoma against them, too. Who have they defended this year with a top offense?

AND its not that simple to run and control the ball agaivst OK. Without a TT WV offense to worry about OK defense is a lot better.

As much as I don't like these high scoring games, Oklahoma did have Georgia on the ropes in last year's Rose Bowl. IMO, the Sooners could've easily won.

It’s different styles, who’s philosophy will prevail?
Boxer vs slugger.
Pitching team vs hitting team.
Fast break vs four passes before you shoot.
You don’t hear Oklahoma TT WV Baylor Oklahoma St Iowa St TCU saying the Big 10 or SEC offenses are stupid boring slugs.
